Description
The wind whipping up the seas around the rocky cliffs near Portland Bill lighthouse, at the southern tip of the Isle of Portland, Dorset, England.
Portland is a unique, tied island and marks the southernmost point on the Jurassic Coast. It is joined to the mainland by Chesil Beach. The famous Portland Stone quarried here has been used for many well-known buildings including St Paul’s Cathedral, London, Uk and the United Nations Building in New York.
